A writer notes that keepers and owners can closely estimate large animal counts in forests and protected areas. Census-like counts reveal deer, elk, bears, and other species in Washington, New Zealand, and British East Africa, with ants, bees, wasps, and hornets illustrating vast colony scales beyond simple guessing.
A London humorous column jokes that Empire goods mislead shoppers into calling non British items Empire. The piece notes prosecutions over Empire marketing board displays using American fruit and Canary Islands produce sold as British, and mocks wartime geography lessons as a result.
The article recalls Australian Aboriginal trackers known for exceptional eyesight and tracking by following subtle marks invisible to white observers. It cites feats in Brisbane and Brewarrina where trackers pursued Governor and thieves across long distances, noting their relentless pursuit and cultural pride. The piece warns the art may fade as contact with white society dulls certain abilities.
Roderic Quinn in New Nation Magazine speaks to the Christmas spirit guiding workless folk and neighbors to pause labor, seek rest or travel, and embrace kindness and community across land and sea during Christmastide.
A witty exchange frames investigation as locating responsibility after a disaster. In court a counsel jokes the prisoner did not commit an offence but committed a technical omission. The judge notes not caught red handed but caught in the act, adding a dry courtroom punchline.
A satirical tale in verse follows Augustus in Goldengibbittee chasing a gold mine with drink and debt.
